Summary: Kwin segmentation fault within a few minutes after login

Description Philipp 2016-08-01 17:41:58 UTC
Application: kwin_x11 (5.7.2)
 (Compiled from sources)
Qt Version: 5.7.0
Frameworks Version: 5.24.0
Operating System: Linux 4.6.3-gentoo x86_64
Distribution (Platform): Gentoo Packages

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Just opening any arbitrary new window will trigger the segmentation fault. There's no real pattern to it, for example opening a certain application that crashes it in every case. Trying to reproduce the error with "reboot/login/open the same thing that crashed last time" leads to no success.

So, the basic pattern is: after booting the machine and logging in, normally within the first 2-5 minutes Kwin will die when a new window is created. The new window will be drawn and is responsive after Kwin is restarted automatically, but this particular window is drawn without any decorations. All the other currently open windows are not affected and get redrawn correctly.

* Turning the compositor off, as proposed in several other bug reports, doesn't change anything. Same error rate.
* Upgrading from Qt 5.6.1 to 5.7.0 didn't fix the bug.
* Occurence of crash increased after upgrading from KDE 5.6 to 5.7

This is a possible duplicate of several other bugs. Ironically, the KDE Crash Reporting Assistant doesn't let me chose a related bug from the list it found. A bug in the bug reporter, well ...

The crash can be reproduced sometimes.

workaround:  until the aforementioned bug is fixed, use a different window decoration
